OK...so I’ve been talking about getting an EB for years....”I should get an EB named JOE! And ‘I’m gonna get an EB named JOE some day’...It was just talk for years. OK Dad...you want an EB blah blah blah.... Well...
We were at a 4[SUP]th[/SUP] of July party last summer (2013) and there was a puppy there running around and playing etc... It was a shitzu...funny as .... FAST FORWARD
On the ride home I announce that it’s time. Time for an EB named JOE. Of course everyone responds with the obligatory OK dad and yeah right dad...blah blah blah...
Quietly I begin my research on EB’s learning about the breed, searching breeders, talking to breeders and on and on. I managed to find JOE little more than 15 minutes from my home...from an ad in the paper. I arranged to meet the breeder and look at the puppies, and both parents. All but two had been taken and Sir Joseph was available. He was and IS the best of the bunch IMO. He IS a pain in the butt, but still the pick of the litter. I was quite surprised that he had not been taken – 4[SUP]th[/SUP] round draft pick :D
My wife was opposed to the idea of a ‘new addition’ to the family. We already have a dog. We don’t need another dog etc etc...Once she realized that I was seriously looking she made her concerns known. NO new dog.
OK...Your comments and concerns are duly noted and taken under advisement – as I’m walking out the door to look at puppies. She KNEW I was going to pick one regardless because I do that sometimes once I get an idea or am ‘on a mission’. I recall a motorcycle showing up in our garage one day – haha! Anyway, you get the idea, sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do...In this case it was – I’m getting a bulldog named JOE.
FAST Forward – I picked JOE and paid for him that night. One week later I picked him up and the adventure began...He is 9 months old now and going strong. EVERYBODY loves him. Everybody loves JOE – haha – He is an absolutely hilarious pain in the butt, that always brings a smile to your face :D COOLEST DOG EVER! My little buddy.
That’s my EB story - Scott
I also like to shoot photos and video (hilarious) so here is some of that...Obsess much? Yes :D Bully's ROCK
3 month old JOE chasing his tail in the kitchen
JOE likes to visit the neighbor dogs but Flynn, the one eyed menace does not approve. JOE holds his own though - Funny
Have a great day! :D

I'll bet she loves him!!
That week that I was waiting to pick him up the breeder would email photos of him so the kids could see...I caught my wife looking around the corner trying to catch a glimpse of ol JOE - I told her 'No way' you can't see - haha. The day I picked him up the breeder called and spoke with her. When I arrived she had this 'look' - "I just spoke with your wife and...is she onboard with JOE?" "Oh yeah sure...-rolleyes- she's cool" - JOE has fit right in and Yes his momma loves him
